Hi everyone!

We are going to remove the Webmail add-on from CS-Cart. The reasons are:
  • New versions of the 3rd party software are non-free
  • The version we currently use is deprecated and does not support PHP 5.3
  • We do not want to restrict users' choice of email client software and email services
All the email links in CS-Cart are defined using the standard mailto protocol. You are free to use any email service or application to handle these links.

We will be grateful for any feedback provided. If you have any suggestions, complaints or ideas, please do not hesitate to express yourself in this thread. All you comments will be taken into account when we will actually remove the add-on from the default CS-Cart distribution.
Konstantin Molchanov,
CS-Cart Architect Team

I never used it, I never bothered with it.
Good to see some fat being shed.

I am only available for emergency support at the rate of AU$500p/h - Non-negotiable.
Emails that entail performing work will be billed in 15 minute increments.

I fully agree, in the year 2012 there is no longer a legitimate need for a built-in "webmail" feature and it is nothing more than antiquated code fat, glad to see it removed! ;-)

Same goes for "Intershipper" which is still lingering in the system...........

I have never used it.

I might also suggest that cs-cart start looking at adding some usage tracking to the product to see which add-ons we are using. I bet there are some other add-ons that you can remove as well.

Thanks for keeping up on the maintenance instead of letting the product bloat.

Never used it either. Good news CS-Cart has less useless addons.
